We’re HUNGRY, and ‘Sick of It’
MANCHESTER’s rising stars HUNGRY are back with a new single, ‘Sick Of It,’ a song pointing the way towards the band’s upcoming, debut EP.
Quickfire lyricist, singer-guitarist and frontman, Jacob Peck, wrote ‘Sick Of It’ as a study of lost ambition and surrender to the rat race through a fictional character, before taking on the second half of the song with a take more personal to him, the band, and the shape of their ideal future.
“This tune is short, snappy, and does what it says on the tin in under three minutes,” he said. “Exactly how it should be. The character in the first part of the song is a cog on the up and up through the rat race, where childlike wonderment has given way to an endless, adult nine-to-five existence. When we switch out of the character at the bridge, it’s more about us, our ambitions and ethics.
“We’re sick of structural career progression, capital gain, and physical symbols of success as they pull us away from our passions and personal ethics. But music gives us hope of creating a more meaningful life.”
Joining Peck in the band are drummer Stan Rankin, guitarist Kit Thomas, and bassist Jas Malig.
